From a group of 10 men and 5 women, four member committees are to be formed each of which must contain at least one women. Then the probability for these committees to have more women than men, is :
  1. 311
  2. 223
  3. 111
  4. 21220

Solution

Total number of ways =C15×C310+C25×C210+C35×C110+C45

=5!4!×10!7!3!+5!2!3!×10!8!2!+5!3!2!×10!9!+5!4!

=5×10×9×83×2+5×42×1×10×92+5×42×1×10+5

=5×5×3×8+5×2×5×9+10×10+5

=600+450+100+5=1155

Total no. of ways =1155
No. of ways to form a committee having more women than men
=5c1×10cc1+5c4=5!3!2!×10!9!+5!4!=10×10+5=105

probability=1051155=111
